LALG and the Settlement are delighted to announce the eighth in a series of musical events.
An online and Live performance by Rachel Thomas and Derek Blyth. Both are professional musicians with excellent reputations. They will perform a selection of ‘Quirky Love Songs’, on what should be a memorable evening, with Derek on the piano accompanied by Rachel singing.
This concert will take place in the Kincaid Hall, The Settlement and streamed live on Zoom. There are a limited number of seats available, to ensure adequate social distancing and other Covid Secure requirements. A copy of the Settlement’s Covid-19 Risk Assessment can be found in the attachments below.

She is a vocal and choral specialist but also plays viola and piano. She has taken many lead roles in Drama and Theatre productions including Maria in the Sound of Music and Florence Foster Jenkins in Glorious.
Our own Derek was born in Edinburgh and studied music there, and at the Universities of Aberdeen and Durham.
